The Gadget Bill of Lights
Gadget and PC makers: If you want happy users and more repeat business, heed our call and stop torturing us with bad decisions about the lights on your products. Here is our Gadget Bill of Lights:
I. The right of the people to get a good night's sleep shall not be infringed. Gadget makers shall make no device that lights up any dark room with flashing nag lights.
II. Excessive LED brightness, deemed cruel and unusual punishment, shall not be inflicted when dimmer lights will do.
III. Gadget makers shall make no device that nags the people for unknown reasons. If a phone flashes at us, we have the right to know why.
IV. No indicator light shall illuminate our houses or places of business without the consent of the owner. We seek the option to turn lights off.
V. An aesthetically pleasing industrial design, being necessary for the placement of electronics in various locations in our homes, shall not include inextinguishable decorative lighting. (We're talking to YOU, Dell.)
VI. In all scenarios in which products may be used in partial or total darkness, the people shall enjoy the right to optional lighting that enables users to locate various controls, keys and buttons.
